The New York City subway is not a social place. One does not talk to strangers on the train. But performing artist Bettina Banayan has figured out how to break the ice. Birthday cake. After slicing up some cake, New Yorkers were snacking, smiling, and talking in no time.

It seems like a week doesn’t go by without another story of a restaurant owner fighting back against unfair reviews, or vice versa. But who thought Yelp would be used to leave terrible reviews of public and national parks?…
